Overview

Judith S. Eisen is affiliated with the University of Oregon in the United States and specializes in research within the broad field of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work is notably focused on Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Surgery, Neurology, and Nutrition and Dietetics as subfields.

The scientist's research covers several main topics including Zebrafish Biomedical Research Applications, Congenital Gastrointestinal and Neural Anomalies, Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration Mechanisms, Single-cell and Spatial Transcriptomics, Epigenetics and DNA Methylation, Child Nutrition and Water Access, and Neuroendocrine Regulation and Behavior.

Recent peer-reviewed papers authored by Judith S. Eisen include:

  • The microbiota promotes social behavior by modulating microglial remodeling of forebrain neurons (2022, PLoS Biology)
  • Enteric nervous system modulation of luminal pH modifies the microbial environment to promote intestinal health (2022, PLoS Pathogens)
  • Cell-type-specific responses to the microbiota across all tissues of the larval zebrafish (2023, Cell Reports)
  • Egr1 Is Necessary for Forebrain Dopaminergic Signaling during Social Behavior (2022, eNeuro)
  • Defining Science Literacy in General Education Courses for Undergraduate Non-Science Majors (2020, Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning)

Judith S. Eisen has collaborated frequently with a group of coauthors including Karen Guillemin, Alexandra Tallafuß, Philip Washbourne, Michelle S. Massaquoi, and Ellie Melançon. These collaborations have contributed to the breadth of research topics and publications produced.

Their work has been published repeatedly in venues such as Faculty Opinions - Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cell Reports, PLoS Biology, and PLoS Pathogens, underscoring a focus on biomedical and molecular biological research dissemination.

Judith S. Eisen has been recognized by their peers through several fellowships, including:

  • Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2018)
  • Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (2017)
